But what child would come to such a place alone to look for their pet?
Too many things were illogical, and Gou Zhe left in a hurry.
At that time, he couldn't communicate smoothly with the child at all.
He didn't even have time to ask another question before he heard the sound of dense footsteps running rapidly in his direction.
Gou Zhe, with his status as a top celebrity, couldn't afford to be found here, or there would be no way to resolve it.
He decisively covered the child's mouth, who was still crying and shouting, picked him up, and left the place immediately.
But as soon as he left that block, before he could even ask anything, he squatted down and placed the child on the ground.
The child bit down hard on his hand, Gou Zhe cried out in pain and let go, and the child ran off crying loudly.
It was already dawn, and he was worried his agent would fly into a rage if he couldn't find him.
He had placed the child in a safe place, far from the red-light district, so it should be fine.
Then he left.
Gou Zhe looked down at the bite marks on the tiger's mouth of his hand.
He wondered how the child was doing, and if they had returned to their family.
Gou Zhe took out his phone and specifically checked the social news releases for the day.
As expected, even though so many people had died, it wasn't on the news.
It must have happened in the red-light district, so they couldn't call the police. It was likely handled discreetly.
Gou Zhe snapped back to attention and saw Wen Bai opposite him, energetically drinking the beverage in front of him. His domestic robot was holding a small plate next to him, presenting it to him so he could pick up a small pastry with a fork if he wished.
It was the picture of leisure.
Gou Zhe felt a moment of imbalance.
They were both wealthy, so why did others know how to enjoy themselves so much?
They didn't even want to lift a plate themselves.
He had to work like a laborer during the day and chase down rogue robots at night.
Alas~
Gou Zhe glanced again at the domestic robot behind Wen Bai.
His domestic robot was still cooperatively holding the small plate, adjusting its height, and earnestly watching its master, just like any other domestic robot, showing no abnormalities.
Gou Zhe shifted his gaze.
Gou Zhe was extremely exhausted at this moment. He relaxed his body slightly, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
Gou Zhe's agent, Jiang Yue, stood a few meters behind him, closely watching his every move.
Earlier that day, the client, Mr. Zhang, the head of the advertising department, had specifically instructed her, behind Gou Zhe's back, to keep a close eye on her artist.
Unusually, Gou Zhe did not provoke Mr. Wen today.
Wen Bai, who had been focused on eating his snacks, momentarily looked at the male lead, Gou Zhe, after he closed his eyes.
After the female lead left the robot research center, did she and the male lead Gou Zhe still have contact?
Gou Zhe was always sensitive to being watched. After only a few seconds of Wen Bai's gaze on him, he detected it.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw Wen Bai had just finished the small plate of snacks and was looking intently at the table. The tall domestic robot beside him was crouching down, picking out food from various small pastries on the table for his master.
Wen Bai would even point to what he wanted.
Wen Bai's gaze was completely averted from him...
Wasn't it Wen Bai who had been looking at him just now?
Due to his subconscious professional sensitivity, Gou Zhe casually and swiftly scanned the people around him.
Then, he closed his eyes again.
The images he had just seen and collected were slowly replaying in his mind.
But after closing his eyes for only a few seconds, he suddenly opened them again and looked in a certain direction.
The advertisement Gou Zhe was shooting was for domestic robots, and domestic robots were part of the filming today.
The robot research center had brought over a dozen domestic robots, some with male appearances and some with female appearances.
To create a sense of everyday life, the domestic robots had been specially dressed and styled in casual attire.
Furthermore, the client had also hired many human extras today.
Now, everyone setting up the scene, in addition to the original staff, included the domestic robots that had been brought along, who were gradually joining the setup team.
Under Mr. Zhang's leadership and direction, everyone was orderly placing heavy objects and equipment in their designated positions.
But, in a fleeting glance, Gou Zhe saw a female domestic robot stop its work and stare intently in one direction.
Gou Zhe looked in its direction. There were only the hired human extras gathered there...
It was already abnormal for a domestic robot, without any instructions, to stare at a human other than its owner.
What's more, this female domestic robot had made a gesture of tucking its hair behind its ear.
It used its fingertips to tuck a stray strand of hair behind its ear.
Such a human-like gesture...
Domestic robots were inherently designed to assist humans.
Every movement they made was meticulously designed by humans. They wouldn't act beyond their necessary commands, and they wouldn't pay attention to their appearance outside of those commands. So why would it tuck its hair?
But weren't these the domestic robots from the robot research center?
Had the more entertainment-oriented robots they had been talking about recently been produced and incorporated these small gestures?
It seemed no one around found it strange.
In reality, everyone was busy with their own tasks and hadn't noticed.
There were no professional researchers from a robot research center here. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong.
Gou Zhe looked again, more carefully, and saw the female domestic robot lowering its head and cooperating with another domestic robot to lift a heavy object.
After placing it down, a staff member nearby called out to it, and it immediately moved over without any hesitation or extra movements.
It was currently helping the staff set up shooting equipment, acting step-by-step according to the staff's instructions...
It looked somewhat clumsy.
So, had he seen wrongly?
Gou Zhe felt that he might be too tired lately, with too much work and having to sneak out at night to investigate rogue robots.
Therefore, he saw problems everywhere, and even the domestic robot next to Wen Bai, sitting opposite him, seemed problematic now.
Moreover, he felt the gaze was wrong. The domestic robot's gaze towards its owner, Wen Bai, seemed wrong.
